but most are bad!•Topology may be really weird•Reflections & multipath cause strange interference•Change is frequent7Problems Using DV or LS•DV loops are very expensive•Wireless bandwidth << fiber bandwidth…•LS protocols have high overhead•N^2 links cause very high cost•Periodic updates waste power•Need fast, frequent convergence8Proposed Protocols•Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV)•Addresses DV loops•Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV)•Forwarders store route info •Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)•Route stored in the packet header•Let’s look at DSR9DSR•Source routing keeps changes local•Intermediate nodes can be out of date•On-demand route discovery•Don’t need periodic route advertisements•(Design point: on-demand may be better or worse depending on traffic patterns…)10DSR Components•Route discovery•The mechanism by which a sending node obtains a route to destination•Route maintenance•The mechanism by which a sending node detects that the network topology has changed and its route to destination is no longer valid11DSR Route Discovery•Route discovery - basic idea•Source broadcasts route-request to Destination•Each node forwards request by adding own address and re-broadcasting•Requests propagate outward until:•Target is found, or•A node that has a route to Destination is found12C Broadcasts Route Request to FASourceCGHDestinationFEDBRoute Request13C Broadcasts Route Request to FASourceCGHDestinationFEDBRoute Request14H Responds to Route RequestASourceCGHDestinationFEDBG,H,F15C Transmits a Packet to FASourceCGHDestinationFEDBFH,FG,H,F16Forwarding Route Requests•A request is forwarded if:•Node doesn’t know the destination•Node not already listed in recorded source route (loop avoidance)•Node has not seen request with same sequence number (duplicate suppression)•IP TTL field may be used to limit scope•Destination copies route into a Route-reply packet and sends it back to Source17Route Cache•All source routes learned by a node are kept in Route Cache•Reduces cost of route discovery•If intermediate node receives RR for destination and has entry for destination in route cache, it responds to RR and does not propagate RR further•Nodes overhearing RR/RP may insert routes in cache18Sending Data•Check cache for route to destination•If route exists then•If reachable in one hop•Send packet•Else insert routing header to destination and send•If route does not exist, buffer packet and initiate route discovery19Discussion•Source routing is good for on demand routes instead of a priori distribution•Route discovery protocol used to obtain routes on demand•Caching used to minimize use of discovery•Periodic messages avoided•But need to buffer packets•How do you decide between links?20Forwarding Packets is Expensive•Throughput of 802.11b =~ 11Mbits/s•In reality, you can get about 5.•What is throughput of a chain?•A -> B -> C ?•A -> B -> C -> D ?•Assume minimum power for radios.•Routing metric should take this into account21ETX Routing metric•Measure each link’s delivery probability with broadcast probes (& measure reverse)•P(delivery) = 1 / ( df * dr ) (ACK must be delivered too)•Link ETX = 1 / P(delivery)•Route ETX = sum of link ETX•(Assumes all hops interfere - not true, but seems to work okay so far)22Capacity of Multi-Hop Network•Assume N nodes, each wants to talk to everyone else. What total throughput (ignore previous slide to simplify things)•O(n) concurrent transmissions. Great! But:•Each has length O(sqrt(n)) (network diameter)•So each Tx uses up sqrt(n) of the O(n) capacity.•Per-node capacity scales as 1/sqrt(n)•Yes - it goes down! More time spent Tx’ing other peoples packets…•But: If communication is local, can do much better, and use cool tricks to optimize•Like multicast, or multicast in reverse (data fusion)•Hey, that sounds like … a sensor network!23Sensor Networks – Smart Devices•First introduced in late 90’s by groups at UCB/UCLA/USC•Small, resource limited devices•CPU, disk, power, bandwidth, etc.•Simple scalar sensors –
